APPROVAL has been given to build a state-of-the-art sports pitch to be built at Market Weighton School.
The 60-metre by 40-metre pitch will include artificial turf, six floodlights and fencing, and has been agreed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
The application to build a sport pitch was first granted last November, for a larger pitch with more floodlights, but the project has been scaled down due to funding issues.
Market Weighton Sports Centre will control the pitch, which is on the grounds of the school.
